Pre-Season Wrap

Samuel Dove-McFalls ended up leading the
Sea Dogs in pre-season scoring with three goals and two assists for five
points.

Dove-McFalls, Nathan Noel, and the
released Stefano Pezzetta all finished with a team high three goals.

Mathieu Joseph and Sheehan Kirkwood led
the Dogs in assists with three apiece.

Dove-McFalls’ 14 shots were a team high.

Sebastien Auger ended up leading all Sea
Dogs goaltenders in playing minutes with 120. He allowed three goals on 54
shots.

Saint John finished first in the Maritimes
Division and second overall in the league with a 4-1-0-1 record for nine
points. Both of their loses came on the road against Halifax. The Dogs went 3-0
at home.

Thanks to their free pre-season opener,
the Dogs led the league in pre-season attendance with an average of 4,173.
Baie-Comeau finished second with an average of 1,543.

Not surprisingly, former Sea Dogs and
current Quebec Remparts defenseman Alexander McQuaid led the league in penalty minutes with
33.

Saint John had the third best kill
rating in the league at 86.5%.

Saint John outscored opponents 24-17. 10
of those 24 goals came in the second period.

The Sea Dogs averaged 34.33 shots per
game, the second most in the league. Cape Breton, who played just games due to
their Russia trip, had the best average.

Saint John’s 54 shots last Friday were the most in any pre-season contest this year. Meanwhile, Saint John’s
17 shots against the Mooseheads on August 16 tied them for second fewest in a
game.
